Geraldine McCaughrean's breathtakingly evocative prose brings new life to the familiar stories. This sumptuous take on the classic Nativity story, with enduring prose and opulent, stylish illustrations, is a wonderful family keepsake and a delight to read alone or aloud in homes, schools and churches. Sophy Williams - twice highly commended for the Reader's Digest Young Illustrators Award - is celebrated for her sensitive illustrations, which perfectly match Geraldine's sophisticated prose. Beautifully presented with a foil-effect dust jacket, this will be a Christmas book to treasure.
